Oister 
Edit
Beware there are Oister sim cards which only give you Internet access but no Phone usage. So they are only useful for Tablets like iPads.
Found this the most easy to get access. Oister uses "3" network (see below). Cards are sold in post offices for 99 kr inc 1 week of access. Additional time can be purchased online (1 week 79 kr). Coverage should be the same as for "3".
3 EazyInternet Tank&Surf Edit

3 is a 3G only n etwork. Available throughout Denmark (reception may vary, of course) are: UMTS (384Kbit/s) and HSDPA (3,6 Mbit/s - which is available not only in large cities, but on the countryside as well). Important: 3 SIM cards can also be used in Sweden without additional costs since 3 operates a mobile network in Sweden as well!
Default data rateEdit
SIM card is 149 kr. = ca. € 20 for a flatrate lasting one week, which should be sufficient for most travelers. There is a fair use policy limit for 2 GB transfer volume per week.
Data feature packsEdit
29 kr. per day or 299 kr. per month are also available. Monthly usage is limited to 20 GB transfer volume.
AvailabilityEdit
You can get a SIM card online with a Danish address, or as an international customer at every 3 shop in Denmark. Such shops can also be found within large supermarkets such as Bilka. As of August 2011, official 3 shops did not offer prepaid SIM packages and directed to go find them at a 7-11.

Default data rateEdit
SIM card is 50 DKK (under USD $10) and includes 35 kroner of credit. Data is charged at 2 kroner / MB (about USD $0.30 / MB). This means that without topping up you likely have several days worth of data available.
Data feature packsEdit
None, pay-as-you-go only. However this is one of the lowest pay-as-you-go data rates I've ever seen.
AvailabilityEdit
No address needed. Walk into a participating store (many 7-11s in downtown Copenhagen, for instance), ask for a One Mobile sim card, pay cash. End of transaction.

TDC Edit
"Mobilt Bredbånd Tank Op" is the name of the prepaid data product of TDC at this moment (24-7-2012). This prepaid sim card doesn't include voice or text.Edit
The old name for this product: "TDC's Bredbånd-2-GO Cash" isn't been used anymore on the TDC website. I don't kwow if it's available anymore in shops. Mobilt Bredbånd Tank Op is often sold in combination with a usb-modem and called: "Mobilt Bredbånd Tank Op Startpakke".
Be aware if you use the sim in your own (usb)modem you need to change the APN to: internet (no user or password is needed)
Do not confuse this with their normal voice SIM card starter pack, which cannot be used with their cheaper data service. After wandering around downtown Copenhagen I mistakenly bought a pair of the voice only SIMs with extra credit, couldn't figure out how to activate data. Went to a TDC store only to be told the SIM cards I bought will not work with data service, and that they were sold out of the particular ones I should have bought. 7-11 wouldn't take the SIM cards back, and I couldn't find any other stores with the correct SIM card. The incorrect starter packs I bought were while with green on them, TDC MobilTid Startpakke, with 100DKK credit included.
So go find a TDC store if you want the correct SIM card.

Lebara MobileEdit
Default data rate Edit
2,5DKK per MB.
Note from a tourist in denmark: the 1GB data pack requires you to be a Danish resident (with Danish social security number and Danish credit card). Look elsewhere for data while in CPH!
Data feature packEdit
Data pack: 1GB for 49DKK (<7€, <10US$), if exceeded automatically renewed.
Note that you need to register for this online, after signing up for their auto top-up service (with a minimum topup of 150 DKK), and that the data pack is charged to your credit card separately from the auto top-up. Thus, your minimum outlay for 1GB of data is 49 DKK (sim card) + 150 DKK (required auto top-up) + 49 DKK (data pack).
Starter packages (Startpakke, white/blue package) offered in several supermarkets (see website) and 7-11s, new SIM packages should be about 49DKK with 10DKK credit
- reasonable prices for texts and minutes to Denmark and several European countries
In order to get the 1GB data pack working asap (not waiting for them to physically mail you your account password)...
- Get to a computer with internet
- Pop the SIM in your phone (with data service off so you don't burn away at the per MB limit)
- Call their customer service number (50101010) which has a number of language options
- Tell them you're traveling and need help setting up auto-topoff for the 1GB data service and don't have time to wait for them to send you your password via snail mail
- After you're done registering on their site they'll SMS your SIM your account password
- Log into the site and feed it a credit card
(Anecdote: I tried this and the customer service rep was unwilling to give me the password over the phone unless they had already mailed it and the letter was lost.)
